THE NEO-ISKRA PLAN FOR THE DUMA CAMPAIGN

(5) Popular agitation committees create
an illegal representation,
б) An illegal representation at a given
moment comes forward as a temporary organ of the people's will!..
What does this mean? A "temporary government" ??
"emerging from a victorious uprising"?
not as an organ of uprising???
7) ... one way or another... the movement will create "an o r g a n i z a t i o n
o f r e v o l u t i o n a r y s e l f - g o v e r n m e n t"... which will
shatter "the framework of tsarist legality".
Shatter it with what? agitation??
or with uprising??
With arms or without arms?
Without a revolutionary army?
8) "The foundation of the future triumph of the revolution"...
When it "shatters," then it will lay the foundation of future triumph!.. But is the very shattering not itself a triumph? Is "revolutionary self-government" not a triumph?? Why is this triumph a f u t u r e one
a f t e r the organization of revolutionary self-government? What will this triumph consist in??

the attitude toward
the boycott; the attitude
toward liberal "Duma men".
Toward the Tsar or toward the p e o p l e ?

"an illegal representation" (?)
|illegal? are these ours?|
(5) "a temporary organ of the people's will" |= a temporary
revolutionary government? | emerging from a people's uprising"?
(6) election of representatives by the people.
(7) their proclamation of
"a Constituent Assembly" = "the ideal aim of the campaign".
(8) "revolutionary self-government" will shatter (?)
the framework
of legality!. "The foundation of the coming triumph" (?)
(9) the example of the Caucasus... 7)
(10) "The form of liquidation of autocracy"...

7. Our slogan: armed uprising — revolutionary army — temporary revolutionary government.
The significance of slogans: clarity of aim (cf. the four-tailed one).

8. Uprising as the basis of the revolution (14.7.1789, 18.3.1848)8).
Compare Engels on the material force *

9. Conclusions:
(1) obligatory utilization of the State
Duma for broad and energetic agitation.
(2) Slogans of agitation = armed uprising —
revolutionary army — temporary revolutionary government.
(3) agreement with revolutionary democracy on
this program.
(4) separation of left bourgeois democrats from
the right [toward the peasants!|
(5) unceasing struggle both against autocracy and
against "liberal Duma men," against "compromisers".
